What Is Shrimp Fritto Misto?
Fritto misto means “mixed fry” in Italian. This version features lightly fried shrimp alongside vegetables, served with a dipping sauce. The coating is light, so the shrimp stays the star, and the plate works well for two to four people as a shared starter before pasta.

Tips for Ordering
- Squeeze lemon over the shrimp if your plate comes with it; it brightens the flavor.
- Share it with the table, then choose a lighter entree such as Shrimp Scampi.
- Eat it while hot, because fried shrimp loses its crunch quickly.
